[wilrob]

I am trying to find Alexander Lockharts parents he married Margeret Topping 1996 st silas byker
the only family i can find is in gateshead and his mother is Jane ..is this the correct family and whatever happened to him there is a death in Walker abt 1940 is there any fresh eyes to look over this plse

Do you have him for definite in later census years? That would give you his birthplace, which may not have been in England, Lockhart is a fairly common name in Scotland.

There are divorce papers available on Ancestry.

Addresses quoted as 97 Church Street, Walker (Alexander) and Darster Street, Walker (Margaret).
Decree Nisi 14th January 1901
Final Decree 22nd July 1901

If they divorced in 1899 (and there is a record on ancestry of a divorce file which looks like it matches the info) then I would have thought he would be unlikely to be Joseph's father ? - the only birth record for a child of that name is in  Q4 1906, Tynemouth.

On familysearch there is a Baptism for a Thomasina Lockhart, parents Alexander and Margaret, 14 Jan 1897, but on my phone so it doesn't show me all details - just Northumberland.

I assume you don't have his marriage certificate with father's name?

There is an entry on there too for Chelsea Pension record for an Alexander Lockhart, born 1873, Northumberland. I'm sure someone can look into that for you (sorry can't at the moment!).

Also on FreeBMD, birth of Alexander Lockhart, Dec qtr 1873, Newcastle T, 10b 59.Maybe?? Or have you looked into that one?

I think he's under his stepfather's name in 1901:
1901 census
Alexr L McCormick age 27

 4806/ 90/17

In 1901 at that address from the divorce papers (97 Church St Walker) lives an 8 yo Alice Lockhart born in Durham, the niece of Neil McCormick b Scotland and his wife Jane b North Whitefields.

Edit
As Maureen said Alex is there too - I didn't even notice him.
